    Garrett Ace 250 Information & Questions

    Hi, So I think I'm going to get the Ace 250 for my first detector. The best price I could find (for a brand new one) is AUD$285 including shipping, but its from the USA. So this might be the one, I get but... What's the go with getting one from the USA? I assume it will have US plugs and...

    Queensland (Qld) Legislation changes for small prospectors

    I would/will put my name down in a heart beat. But I'm a pesky Victorian so not sure if it'll help...

    The 1 that got away

    Haha that totally sounds like a euphemism: "Just off to pan the s-bend...if you know I mean". Bahaha. Oh my, I have nothing of value to add here it would seem.

    It's amazing how low some people will stoop....they must be pretty happy with themselves. Lowlifes.

    Bad news (maybe)

    Ah that would be right wouldn't it... Didn't think of that, but im sure it's a factor. Teenagers constantly drinking and hanging around in the park near my house.

    Bounty Hunter Discovery 1100

    Im wanting to do some coin shooting around my local area. I don't live near a beach so will mostly be parks and grassed areas. I've had a quick look about and have seen the Discovery 1100 for $215, which is the upper end of my price range. Seems okay, but what do I know. Would this be a...

    Prospecting / Gold Related TV Shows.

    I felt that although the criticism from Americo and Gator wasn't necessary, but it was understandable...ie. The whole "nearing the end, we're all tired and frustrated" thing, so some snappyness is to be expected. But Erics reaction just overstepped the line. Americo and Gator, imo, are the two...

    Prospecting / Gold Related TV Shows.

    Yeah, interesting episode. How was Erics outburst...crikey. It's funny. At the beginning of season one my least favourite two we're Americo and Gator. Now season two is done with, they're now the two fusion like the most. And thank goodness there is another ep... we've hardly even seen those...

    Prospecting / Gold Related TV Shows.

    I watched all six episodes of this the other day. I personally liked it, but reading the comments I know others didnt like it so much. I liked fact there is three teams of two. More people and personalities is always good I think. It's a good mix of people too. Others might feel differently...

    My Bunnings Sluice Design

    Tell me about it...the boredom is immense. Sigh. I too hope it doesn't last too much longer but it's not exactly raining jobs right now and is proving rather difficult. It has been quite a few months that I've been out of work so I'm annoyed that I'm just getting into this now...I wasted a few...

    My Bunnings Sluice Design

    Easiest option? Certainly not. But I'm between jobs right now so the build excites me almost as much as the gold. Plus, I think catching gold with your own creation would all the more satisfying. And I don't need this thing to last years. Im more interested in detecting for gold but that's not...

    My Bunnings Sluice Design

    Yeah that's what I was thinking re the pine. But it's readily available for now and doesn't take long to knock up so I'll give it a crack. As long as I get more than one or two uses out of it. Araldite seems to be the way to go...if it works, then it works. Good tip re bend yourself bracket for...

    My Bunnings Sluice Design

    After seeing another member of the forum (Ryan J) do a Bunnings build recently I've been inspired to build my own in a similar vein. Im only in design process right now for a couple of reasons: a) holding out hoping I win the sluice in the Easter Raffle haha and b) I'm still pretty new to this...

    dry washers in wa

    I've seen people using them in YouTube videos, and they aren't exactly hiding their face...so I would assume it's okay. But I obviously wouldn't take my word for it...
